Bring back the Krogan.

I agree with this. Haters gonna hate I guess. 

Drack is one of the most developed characters in the game. He has a much better backstory than the main protagonist.

That just proves my point-- these are the same krogan that we've always known. They're finally choosing to embrace hope, show a bit more depth, and to dream of something better, though. I really enjoy them more, now.

If they were simply the meatheads implied by the OT, they'd already be extinct. Bakara was just our first glimpse into the true krogan culture. It's much more nuanced than "mercs everywhere".

Theyre not embracing hope theyre trying to blow up the Nexus.

Just in a really stupid way.

Did we play the same game?

Strux.

She was never going to attack the Nexus. I can see why you interpreted it that way, given her limited screen-time. She wasn't going to do so, though. She's pissed, maybe a bit heartbroken, and posturing. Her people have been screwed again, and she has to rally them with an "us against the world" mentality.

I know that most have no interest in reading the novels, but "Nexus Uprising" fills in Morda's character quite a bit. She says that the only human friend she has is Jien Garson, because Jien believed in her people's ability to be more. Morda believes in the Initiative, and never would've attacked unprovoked. Her use of the core to grow New Tuchanka proves this. She's too smart to squander her people's future out of petty spite, even if she had felt such a way.

I don't think that's exactly how it happens. Strux basically set the Nexus and the Krogan against each other, or at least attempted to. If you choose the "Emotional" option when talking to Morda after getting the drive core, Morda basically says something along the lines of "Strux told me that the Nexus was going to blah blah blah..." and Ryder's like "Well Strux told us you were gonna do blah blah blah." 

I don't think Morda ever intended to attack the Nexus or its people, she and the other Krogan just didn't want to be under Nexus control, however because of the already strained relationship between the Krogan and the Nexus and because she was lead to believe the Nexus were plotting against her, she planned on fighting back.

They aren't softer, they're smarter. They don't want to go extinct, nor live off of the scraps of others any longer.

Morda is every bit the visionary the Wrex was. He chose to unite the fools on Tuchanka, whether they wanted it or not. "I'll drag your clan to glory," he told Uvenk. Morda saw Nakmor's opportunity in Heleus. Each had the same goal-- a more civilized krogan with a real chance at a future.

Was Wrex soft for wanting this? If Wrex wasn't a wuss, then neither are Clan Nakmor. Wrex would be proud of them.

So, lol.

I think the crap Morda fight scene is one of the big reasons why the Krogan seem so...meh. That was just embarrassing.

I thought the Krogan were surprisingly well done in this game. Keep in mind, we have never seen a Krogan colony before. Sure, we saw Tuchanka...but we only saw a warrior camp there. We never saw Krogan living in clans among females (recall, they were in camps that the warriors could visit). We mostly saw Korgan mercs (Wrex included). I mean, even Vikings had a home life (right?)

I really liked the Krogan interested in plants (can't remember his name, sorry). He is not as strong as the others, but remember what Okeer said? About how they cherish every Krogan born now? It is a consequence of the genophage. Selecting for "strong" Krogan is not happening nowadays like it used to. But he is not a complete wimp, either. What would a Krogan botanist do if he wasn't good at fighting? Besides trying to feed his clan, he would also work on perfecting a pod that can knock out enemies. Pretty useful for front-line fighters like the Krogan, imo.

Drack was exactly the aspect of the Krogan we have never seen before. Others folks have said it better...he is a relic of a more brutal time in their history who is now becoming part of their future (which is establishing a strong colony without petty clan wars, focusing on the next generation and family, and becoming part of galactic politics).

I think the Krogan have a pretty strong start in Andromeda, down the type of path that the female shaman from ME3 would be proud of.

I also think the Krogan were the only species in this game that were given any complexity. I was actually pretty happy with the way they were presented.

Except for that fight scene with Morda, which was ass.
